Venezuela Friendly: EJIDE Could Miss Hapoel Ramat Gan Game

As reported by sports.walla.co.il, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the Israeli club of Austin Ejide, are concerned with his invitation by coach Stephen Keshi for the friendly against Venezuela in Miami next Wednesday.

Two days after the friendly, Hapoel Be'er Sheva are guests to Hapoel Ramat Gan in the tenth round of matches in the Ligat ha'Al  . Because of the time difference and crowded flight schedule(Miami - New York, New York - Israel), it is unlikely Ejide would be in the plans of coach Elisha Levy for the game.

Ejide's earliest return date to Israel is Friday morning . Thus, he won't be able to participate in the club's last training before the match.

''We get flight times and will be dealt with,'' Hapoel Be'er Sheva said in a statement on Friday.

The Nigeria goalie has played eight games in the championship this campaign. Galil Ben Senan is the candidate to replace Ejide in goal next Friday if he is unavailable against Hapoel Ramat Gan.
